Hardy Climbing Roses 
Scarcely less popular than the Hybrid Teas, the Hardy Climbing 
Roses are easier to grow and produce a finer display at one time 
than any other flower which can be grown in gardens. New 
varieties have been produced recently which are finer in every 
respect than the clustered-blooming, small-flowered type which 
used to be so popular. Climbing Roses may be used for many 
ornamental effects and never disappoint, no matter how carelessly 
or ignorantly they may be handled. 
Prices, except as otherwise noted: Dormant plants, 75c 
each; Potted plants $1.00 each. 3 or more plants shipped 
at one time to one address: Dormant plants 65c each;
